In a moment in which the cities reach the limit of their sustainability, more and more people turn to the countryside looking for a lifestyle that can provide some level of autonomy. The relative isolation of rural communities makes them look for local solutions - from car and machinery maintenance to health care. At the same time, do-it-yourself (or do-it-together) culture - more popular every day - also looks for technological independence.

In partnership with Medialab-Prado, Nuvem will select 5 proposals for a residency at our rural hacklab in Visconde de Mauá (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) between November 5th and September 20th, 2013. Before the 3rd of August, researchers, professionals and amateurs are invited to send projects dealing with communications, agriculture, food, drinking water, energy, transportation, and bio-construction, from a rural perspective.

Selected projects will be awarded transportation, housing, and limited financial and technical support for the development of the proposals.

Evaluation criteria. The submitted proposal will be selected according to the following criteria:
 

Befitting the proposal to the goals of the call
Technical feasibility of the proposals and work plan
Applicant’s motivation
Financial feasibility of his/her transportation
Regional distribution of the work area of applicants
